‘ LOCAL Bishop Bkckwith.—We are re quested to aunounec that this eminent Divine will mako his visitation to Hawkinsville on tho 17th of April and remain Tuesday. ! y We learn that ou Sunday evening ■last a young hurricane visited that portion of Dooly county a<!joing Pu laski on the Vienna road, and prostra ted trees, fences, Ac., though not do ing a material amount of damage. Fences around Hawkinsville were blown whirling, and Sunday night the Farm Work. The recent heavy rains have con »*iderabiy pekwdeddsmningopt'Wtioqs. 'flhq ll&priapdfl afo i overflowed add 1 tne uplands win scarcely' bear the weight of a plow. Farmers arc be coming vety impatient undor the. rap id advance of the season and their in ability to proceed with the necessary work. Better tliun Cotton. £ Dooly county farmer came into Ilawkinsvillc Monday evening with a fdur-xhule wagon load of sweet pota toes, and in a few minutes sold them at seventy-five cents a bushel. He raised last year aland two hundred bushels on one acre, for which he re ceives ou»4»und»cd fifty dollars— paying lining for guano, and devo tSnftlfss t tine, to Die ‘cultivation of this one acre than lie did acre in cotton . Potato© ‘and sugar enne will beat anything hi tfiislffCitude. Saturday. This is the busiest day of the week. Last Saturday the streets were crow ded with vehicles of every conceiv able description. Many of them went away loaded witli bacon, flour, guano, tnnj| other articles .qf-in®rvhandisc. Bozeman A Fate will ship a inrge quantity of cotton to Savannah by the steamer Swan, which will arive here to-day or to-morrow. •The Latl Stake.? The horse carts and the one-ox teams, which usually denote the arrimal of the last of the cotton crop —are slowly coming into Hawkins ville. These small farmers jure the oily ones who liavo any dear “ rhino ” left from last year’s labors. Very few of them ever ask for credit, know ing that their small business does not favorably, impress the merchant. Hence, at the end of the year, they nre better off than their rich neigh bors Bran Band This organization of superb “blow hards” tooted, magnificently one cve nkig during the latter part of last wide. The glace songht for the oc casion Was the balcony in the factory building, from whence sweet music v was wafted to the care of many lis teners. The Band has made wonder ful progress, and is one of the most desirable institutions in the town. At the writing of this paragraph, some junior member of the Band across the street is blowing away with all his might, as though his brains arc in no immediate danger of being scattenl to “ the four winds of Heaven.” He evidently has in his head the motto of the school boy— “ if at first you don’t succeed!fry, try again.” If he don’t exhaust Ills sup ply of breath, he will certainly be come an efficient member.

Sinec then we have heard nothing of it. Whether the subject has been entirely forgotten, or whether the Ivys have their. tniiub? abkoriied we afe un:rWo so sa?, and merely al lude to it by request. A well organ ized club of n dozen or fifteen mem bers could have an abundance of mirth and fun, when the days grow long and monotonous. It would be not only a source of amusement, but very instructive to every member. It would be a good idea to hold the 'meetings in the afternoon, if not im practicable, for at such a time there would be a larger attendance, and consequently, more interest mani fested. - t j The Nummary dissolution about two years ago' of the hist debating club in this place has not much en couraged the young men in endeavor ing to reorganise. Said dissolution did not take place in accordance with the Constitution and by-laws of the Club. And the illcgnl manner in which the funds in the Treasury were appropriated would almokt justify an investigation at, the present day, which, •if properly conducted, would result in the impeachment of the President for “ high crimes and mis demeanors,” and the conviction of the Clerk and Treasurer for malfeasance in oUke. The dissolution occurred tinder the following circumstances: There was a very limited attendance ofjtkft members on the regular night of meeting and one of the incorrigible at haters proposed that with a vote of two-thirds of those present and the sanction of the President the meeting adjourn sine die and take with them the funds in the Treasury, which should be appropriated for soda wn_ ter and lemonade. The proposition was unanimously endorsed, and away went the money like u school boy’s tail, leaving not a glimmer behind. Will some of rhe young men make an effort to get up a debating club ? It is easy enough if properly man aged. Kcw Em erprise. Our fellow-citizens, Dr. Laidler and Mr. Westcott, are engaged in devising a plan by which steam can be applied in a different maimer than that heretofore known. Wood and water being abundant in this section, apd money being scarce, the idea is to invent some method by which steam engines can be dispensed with, and at the same time have an equal amount of motive power. This very desirable feature is to be accomplish ed by direct outlet to the steam, which, striking a large wheel constructed for the purpose, puts the machinery in motion. The boiler is in the shape of a hogshead sitting endwise, and the fire built under neath. A8 the steam is generated, it escapes by means of a pipe leading to the wheel. Wo saw in operation a miniature model of this new enter prise. The fly wheel was propelled with a perfect whiz. Wc are no mechanical genius, and of course do not comprehend the modus operandi of this new application of steam power. Wo hope, however, these gentlemen may succeed in their efforts to discover anew mode for the application of -steam. Kent Sign BOnrd. Green Fleming has just finished painting a sign for the Dispatch olllee ) which for its neatness and beauty cannot be excelled this side of New York—where, of course, everything is perfect. Those who have seen the sign arc liberal in their encomiums. Green—ns liis friends are well aware —is no professional sign painter, yet his effort in this instance puts him forward in the" fropt rank with first class painters. The- letters are per fectly shaped, separated evenly, and beautifully shaded. We do not like to claim the palm os regards signs, but after taking a good view, our friends will concede that wc are en titled to it. Stoics are always more attractive winch have neat signs, and it wouldnt bh a bad idea If -every business establishment in town had one. Savannah News. Col.

Dear Home Journal—-I arrived here last Friday night, al>ottt mid night, safe and sound. The Mayor did not meet me at the depot with an cloqtient and soul-cheering welcome; the enthusiastic populace didnot greet me with ear-splitting cheers, as the cars stopped; they did’nt seize me and bear me to the hotel on their shoulders; no cannon boomed, and no brass band announced my arrival, in martial strains. This was doubtless owing to the fact that I carte Unex pectedly. Next time I come, I shall give ninety days notice in advance. J. T. W. Macon, March 20, 1871.
